As many of you know, Circle of Care is taking part in The Grand Parade this year – a super fun walk that also acts as a fundraiser for our key programs for seniors! On Saturday, September 20 at 11:00 AM, we’ll be coming together as a team and community in a fun-filled, energetic event that will feature a DJ, snacks, and photos!
This parade is a celebration of our community, our spirit, and our shared commitment to making life better for our seniors. It’s a chance for everyone to come together, participate, and contribute to a cause that touches us all. Let’s show our support by uniting for this parade!
Bring your families, friends, and loved ones to help us celebrate. If you’re unable to walk with us, you can still make a difference by making a donation or by helping us promote this fundraiser online. Every contribution helps!
Stay tuned for our newsletter next week where we’ll provide detailed information including the parade map, event and route details, along with directions to our designated area in the park.
